73.1% of Politicians are Scum

The vast majority of elected officials are dishonest, corrupt, unprincipled, self-indulgent abusers of the public’s trust. They are out of touch and out of control, with a singular focus on maintaining their careers in politics.

In Dictionary.com Unabridged, politicians are defined as those more concerned about winning favor or retaining power than about maintaining principles.

Politicians (i.e. scum) distract us with their frivolous game of “Democrats versus Republicans,” but the reality is their only goal is to obtain power and get control of your money.

Using your money, politicians (i.e. scum) have done the following:

1. Compiled debt and obligations in excess of $56,400,000,000,000, which represents $483,000 per household.
2. Lied to you about what they (i.e. scum) will do with your money.
3. Created an industry in which your money is taken, in the form of taxes, and redistributed to whatever institutions have given them (i.e. scum) the most donations or whomever will provide them (i.e. scum) the most votes.
4. Attempted to create an environment in which you no longer control your own destiny. Instead, you are dependent on them (i.e. scum) for handouts, rebates, and bailouts.

Stop treating politicians (i.e. scum) as if they have your best interests at heart. They (i.e. scum) do not. Remember, the scum-sucking maggots are employed by you.

You should demand better.

  "In the future, when receipts for such programs as Social Security fall below their expenditures, the legal authority to pay benefits will exist as long as their trust funds have balances, but the government will have to generate cash to pay benefits either by running a surplus in the rest of the budget—which would probably require cutting other spending or raising taxes—or by borrowing from the public."

  "Right now, you are carrying a burden of about $184,000. That is each and every American's share of the US government's approximated $56.4 trillion in current obligations. And every year in which no down payments or reforms are made to these obligations, the total grows by $2 trillion to $3 trillion - or $6,600 to $10,000 per person - on autopilot."
